So this might be following me home today... 2000 sm610r with a rod through the case. If the price wasn't as good as it is I would officially call myself insane.

Its an air cooled 2 stroke 3cyl snowmobile engine.....probably sketchy as all get out to ride.

I believe that bike was built by the same guy who built the snowmobile powered Yugo that showed up recently.
Same 900cc, 180HP engine in both the bike and the car.

That wasn't a Bandit, that was a VX800: Kind of a weird naked standard with a V-twin engine out of an Intruder VS800. Not really a great or ground breaking bike in any way, but could be considered a predecessor to the naked SV650 (in concept at least).

The Suzuki tag threw me. It didn't look like any Water Buffalo engine I ever saw... Back in the late 70's/early 80's one of the mechanics at the Yamaha dealership in La Crosse, WI built a dragster out of a sled motor. Dunno whatever happened to it, though...

If they'd made that a chain drive instead of a shaft I'd have bought one.

Good call, never knew those existed. All I could tell was older, sportyish but not, and suzuki.....the latter of which usually means its the same bike they produced a decade prior.

Operation "Stuff three bikes in the house" was a glorious success. Although, the '04 zx10(left) was shoved out the door and down the ramp this morning for a short trip to work and back. 35*, I'm not done riding yet.

I've been thinking about a dual-sport thumper-based cafe racer lately. I like the builds that are a clean modern bike with a nice collection of retro styling touches.
